About
Wilmington Parks & Rec
Wilmington Parks & Rec offers a variety of activities for the whole family. From picnicking, trails, sports, a Splash Pad and Skate Parks there is something for everyone to enjoy outdoor time well spent.
​
We own and operate seven parks throughout the City. The City’s approximately 3.5 miles (one way) of recreational trails offer people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature while getting the benefit of walking, jogging, cycling, skating, or cross-country skiing.
